THE HOWARD MURDER.
eliminating Evidence Against the Sus.
pectcd Women

Special Dispatch to the Appeal.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 20.-The finding
of the dead body Of old man l. J.. Howard
under the Louisville & Nashville railroad
trestle, near Crawford street, Tuesday
morning, is still exciting much comment.
A majority opinion is that Howard was
murdered. Detectives have maintained
from the first that the murder theory was
correct, as mentioned in last night'sspecial.
Bette Black, Annie Wright and Lulic
Wilson were committed to Jail without
bond to await an investigation Saturday
upon the information of Bette Blacks six
year old daughter. The child said that
Monday night an old man came TO their
house. He was drunk and her mother
tried to make him leaye. He refused and
she struck him with an axe and Annie
Wright hit him with hatchet.
After they had killed the old man he
was thrown off of the porch on the ground.
The three women then took him up, her
mother holding his head, Lulie Wilson his
hands, and Annie Wright his feet, and
carried him thus 10 the branch. This
morning the axe with which the little girl
says the killing was done was found in
the kitchen. On the blade is spot Of
blood. The spot Of ground near the
porch, where the little girl says Howard
was thrown, shows evidence of having
been swept with broom and water. In
the rear OF the lot, where tho fence has
been droken down, was found small pool
of blood, besides patch Of gray hair,
similar TO Iloward's, on n broken fence
post. From this point direct TO the place
where the body was found there are evil
dences Of path made by the dragging
OF body. The three women still main
tain their innocence, and declare they
never saw the man until after he was dead,
and can prove by men who remained at
their house over night that he was never
in the house during the night, nor did
they leave their rooms

LONDON, Oct. 20.-Mr. Gladstone al
dressed an audience of 1000 pensonsn the
drill hall at Derby. lie was supported by
Sir William Vernon Ilarcourt and Baron
Wolverton. The crowd climbed TO the
girdeB of the roof. When the organist
played God Bless the Prince of Wales"
cheers were heard from some parts of the
hall. The air of the song Joey and
Jesse, which refers to MIessN. Joseph
Chamberlain and Jesse Ceilings, was also
played and was loudly groaned Mt. Mr..
Gladstone said their opponents were grow
ing weaker, while their own forces were
becoming stronger. lie was accused of
cooperating with those whom he once de-
nounccd as marching with rapine and
murder toward the disintegration OF the
empire. All the objections then presented
had passed away. lie did not believe that
any Irish member Of Parliament now con.
tcmpatcd or desired the dismembermcnt
OF the empire. They wanted union OF
hearts and not a union on parchment and
paper. Why, he asked, should he be
accused OF gross inconsistency because lac
allied himself with Mr.. Parnell and the
Irish party, who were acting on lines of
moderation which assured they would in
the end secure home rule. When told
that he had passed coercion measures he
could only say that measure such us was
contested at the last session Of Parliament
had never been passed while he was in
office. That measure was not aimed tthc
suppression Of crime 40 much as at the lib
crty Oi tine press and the right OF public
meeting, as its application proved. Law
iul meetings had been prevented. The net
had been used in such n manner IA 10
painfully and ilagrantly show that its pro-
visions were different from those Of any act
previously passed. ltwas more subtle and
piercing and more fatal to the liberty Of
the people than any bill hitherto passed.
II was enrolled as a permanent piece Of
legislation MS much ~ the reform bill and
the bill Of rights. Coercion had utterly
failed. Instead OF trying 20 drive
the disease inward hc believed the
Liberals had found plan which would,
by their home rule scheme, solve the long
formidable problem. II IL said that Ire
land consisted Of two nations Italy was
once in the came condition, hut the parties
there coalcsced and formed one united
kingdom. Why should not Ireland 10 the
same? Mr.. Gladstone said he believed
that the people Of Ulster were simply labor
ing under misunderstanding. They
doubtless wanted the assurance that the
connection between Ireland and England
would be maintained. IL was an utter
mistake 10 suppose that any action Of the
Liberal party would have any other result.
lie believed that satisfactory arrange
mcnt could bc made by which Ulster
would bc united with the rest Of Ireland,
and that in the end all would give willing
obedience 10 the Queen.
On leaving the hall Mr.. Gladstone was
heartily chccrcd.

wAsuiSGroS, Oct. 20.-The importance
Of early and successful forecasts Of the
weather is greatest perhaps In the north
west. In order TO meet the needs Of that
section Of country, and comply with the
earnest application from citizens and cor.
porations Of great vested values, the chief
signal officer has decided to station an in.
dication officer at 81. Paul, MINI. This
arrangement will enable that officer 10 re.
cciye his reports an hour earlier than in
Washington, and will further enable him
10 send out warnings Of cold waves in that
section from two 90 five hours earlier than
is now done. A warning earlier by two or
three hours, while not Of special impor-
lance east OF the Mississippi river, Is, how
ever, TO the country Of the northwest,
where the earliest signs Of a cold wave are
rarely more than twelve 20 sixteen hours
in advance Of It's full prcdominance. The
stationing Of an officer in the northwest,
who can make predictions for five or six
States for the winter and spring months,
will also relieve 10 n considerable extent
the ovcrtaxcd indications officer Of the
central office. This arrangement went in
20 effect with the morning report Of today,
but for few days longer the midnight
indications will continue TO be issued nom
this Office.
